The Boston Bruins have acquired forward Brian Rolston and defenseman Mike Mottau from the New York Islanders for prospects Yannick Riendeau and Marc Cantin.
The deal was announced a short time before the official trade deadline.
Both Rolston and Mottau know Boston well. Rolston played for the Bruins from 1999-2004 and Mottau attended Boston College.
According to The Associated Press:
“Rolston had been put on waivers, and he cleared Monday before the trade. Mottau was activated from the injured list on Sunday after missing 26 games with a concussion.”
The Bruins also finalized a trade with the Minnesota Wild. The Bruins traded defenseman Steve Kampfer for defenseman Greg Zanon.
The 31-year-old Zanon was set to be an unrestricted free agent this summer anyway. Kampfer is eight-years Zanon’s minor, at 23, has scored five goals this season.
